oh right sair hitbox was crazy in beta I forgot abt that
Yeah everyone was broken in beta
yea the character power was crazy in the beta
I like him a lot more now though. He isn’t insane and dynamite feels way better now imo.
yea dynamite glow up is so real
I just hate the bug where you get hit while biting dynamite and it dissapears off your model but you're still holding it
I forget abt it and bite it tryna pull a new one all the time
the only change I really care about is gun consistency
Dang that’s a horrible bug
I would also really like if momentum wasn't halted with aerials
but I understand why they would do that
I don’t play the character often enough for that to have occurred for me though
I kinda just cycle between characters I like playing
I just play extremely risky and aggressive the moment I get reticle so I get my attacks stuffed a lot
oh yea that's obnoxious
visual bugs like that annoy me
because even when I can technically know that, I didn't explode, I still have it, I visually cannot confirn it
I think with sair it’s fine. The other moves I can see that but I generally don’t use those in neutral because of that
Im just a little scatterbrained I forget abt it
yea it feels like smfn that shouldn't be hard to fix
just update stripe's model at the same time that you actually remove the dynamite
idk tho maybe its coded in a weird way and its more insidious than that
what I imagine is happening is that the moment you press the down b the game makes the bomb disappear for the animation to not look weird but if it gets interrupted it just has no checks to make sure that the bomb reappears
Yeah I think the problem is the devs have so many priorities with other things. So it’s hard to balance it all
Also other characters have bugs as well they have to deal with. Like I heard morty has an insane amount of them like 20 or so
yea
If it works the way I think it does it would probably be like
im not surprised, morty's all abt convuluted interactions between his different stuff
Yeah grenade physics are wack
reminds me of this clip
In 2's specifically i'm really liking second wind
Lets you do really aggresive plays off stage and still return
Prob worse that melee but imm tired of going the same like 5 perks
Gun gets such early kills off the top
I wonder if stripe is a good user of last stand
given how you can actually pretty easily manipulate what your % is
with dynamite
maybe it's not better than being faster
considering how much you're typically using single hits
buuuut it could be useful
Tbh the speed increase I consider to be negligible so last stand is probably most consistently best on any character. But I wonder if airwalker could be good with him
And off the bottom too. It’s a pretty effective spike tool
Bottom especially is super deadly
I was trying it and it might be good, but it has a bug where you apply the weaken effect to yourself if you collide with the stage. Same goes for Press the Advantage.
I wonder if you just run it anyway considering how light we are
I don't typically use dynamite to hit walls/floors anyway
I really like using dynamite to protect my partner in 2s it feels pretty consistent to dynamite through both enemies to protect them
it also feels really good to get outta an edge gaurd
Guys do y’all know any good stripe players that placed good in the tourneys recently???
did yall know dash attack > up normal is true? I had no clue I just realized that was a thing
its only true at low percents tho
actually it works till 75 thats not too bad
it also works at 0 but not at 5-15 and then it starts working again at 20 which is funny
Good to know if i ever decide to use that slow sluggish thing
I hate dash attack but its needed in some MU's
I tried it before and it felt useless due to how stripes grounded attacks kinda..i'm not gonna say bad but don't string in the same way arya or jokers do
BUT!
Then I remembered that you can do stuff like jab loop->down tilt->dynamite! And i'm willing to be that with dynamite explosion you can then GC and get something off of it
Finally, some good labbing to do.
Nvm
There is not a single grounded move
I'd ever want to use in the air
As stripe
GUYS
I FOUND BUZZSAW SET UPS WITH PLATS
WOO
i found out how to consistently make the buzzsaws return to yoy when you shoot thrm
Is it dependant on the direction that saw was going when shot?
Mhm, also i think it only works when sent off the platform via dynamite
I would love to lab it more but the lab is awful.
Here lemme clip dump
It's specifically when the saw is going under the platform and towards stripe that hitting it off will send it back to you when shot
I really wish you could turn off the bots, or readjust the camera to always see whats on the screen. Because the dynamic camera stops me from being able to fully see what saw is doing at times and i have to position myself and the bot in such annoying spots
I never see anyone use the lunge move to juggle saws, that's usually what I do because I can juggle and chase at same time
Very interesting tech, but I probably won’t remember to use in a game lol
No changes to stripe it seems this patch. Just wanted to let you know.
Except for maybe the jab/dodge loop. But thats an universal change.
Stripe is struggling 😭
stripe is still a fast character with gigantic hitboxes idk if he's struggling
Compared to the rest of the cast he needs help
why no Stripe buff 😦
definitely
Eh I'll take buffs but I also don't think he is in desperate need for them
But it's normal for every channel to have people who think their character sucks
The more I play stripe, the less I think he needs huge buffs
No buffs or nerfs bro what we need buffs we need to top again we will start the gremlin REVOLUTION
Bugfix his projectiles and perk interactions
I feel like landing skateboard or chainsaw comes down to how bad my opponent is vs how good I am, if that makes sense.
What they need to do is either let the chainsaw or skateboard be able to hit character doing specific moves
Skateboard is one of the few moves I think needs buffs
But just being faster would be enough for me
what I really want is for aerials to not stop my momentum
i think it should have less endlag and maybe amount of use to compensate
??? Imo one of the best
It’s too easy for people to destroy sawblade
yes sawblade need to be out of titanium or smth xd
skateboard is kind of terrible
It’d be nice if had armor but it’s quite a good kill move with kick flip
Ehh, I just don’t really use skateboard
skateboard is just worse banana guard side special. it's slower, worse hitbox, and doesn't even link into the second hit sometime.
If u could dodge out of it that would be a start
At least then its not as commital for such little reward
But not every move can be good i guess, gotta take the good with the bad
the only time ive ever been able to find a safe way for skatboard is edge guarding, even then it Feels like it should be a charge for distance kinda thing. even if they keep the long recovery time
Yeah i usually try and use down attack on the ledge cos it falls off it a bit and hits them
Quite strong
Or saw blade
Into down air gun
saw blade is probaly my favorite move frome his whole kit
I use it as a combo extender or a denial since i onlu use it in the air
I like to use it below the ledge to ride up the wall and get some space
oh? I never knew that
i was alway focused more the recover from off stage, its crazy the stuff you can do
Its always better to take ur time a bit if u can
Stall ur landings with up air and stuff
ya I play rush down though just as my playstyle
Throw a blade to hit them away
Thats perfectly fine, as long as ur not always aproaching everytime
Ull get whiff punished alot
ya i only really get puncished by his down attack, its really slow
I play stripe the same way I play jason lol
i.e. I just wait
do not interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake
Yeah jasons big aerials are nice if u space them
oh I NEVER wait, I just try and overload them
I should play more jason
It's slow, telegraphed, poor hitbox, one dimensional travel.
Basically if your hitting people, they haven't discovered the Dodge button or spacial awareness
I'm probably one of the best Jasons in the world and I can say that he is incredibly annoying to play simply because sometimes he just doesn't function
or if they've run out of moves
the only way you hit skateboard is if the enemy whiffed skateboard
Let Stripe jump cancel skateboard
If you hit skateboard, you should call a wellness check on your opponent, because they just got kidnapped and the game was left on
try jab1>jab2>dair>uair/sair. the exact air attacks you use depends on DI and damage
I love hitting people with Dair > Gun and killing at 20
the second I discovered it was when I stopped playing other characters. 🔫
show me this
Quick question as I just bought stripe after trying him for free
Is there a reason why it sometimes feels like he will shoot one bullet yet it'll use two ammo and just not do anything
It’s either the 2 bullets are shot quickly as one dealing dmg of 2 bullets or gun is really buggy. Either way it’s not that big an issue the character for the most part is fine imo
I feel like it's a bug
As long as I'm not doing something wrong on accident
Kinda getting annoying when it happens though it's really frequent for me
Would send proof but well I cant
Yeah its an issue with that moves
Nothing ur doing wrong
Alright then thanks
Definitely wanna keep playing him at least and hope it gets fixed
Don't see anyone online with him and he's super cool
He’s a little underwhelming atm but definitely keep playing him
Ikr, i hope u continue to enjoy playing him
Him being underwhelming will just make me wanna play him more
More enjoyable winning when you had to put the effort in
That’s a good way to think
Yeah he makes u actually get good at the game instead of having a top tier carry you
Dying at 85 to Banana guard forward air though god damn
I think hes pretty strong, only thing id change is making his saw go even with other projectiles
PLEASE
I didn't wanna criticise anything considering I've just started playing him
But its sad how easily saw loses to literally everything
Yup, it doesnt make sense to me either
Saw juggles are very fun too
Fix that and the bullets thing and thats all i would want
There's definitely some things that I cant get annoyed at because I'm probably doing something wrong
Facts, got a few nice ones here #clips message
But throwing saw and it just instantly getting destroyed is depressing
True
U have a good mentality, so many people in this game would rather complain about other or their own characters than adapt and improve
At least for now lol
I mean stuff like getting annoyed at my combos not working isn't gonna annoy me
I'm sure the I'm trying is terrible I just gotta learn actual combos
And what his good moves are
All I know is that down special is my favourite move ever
When I saw stripe from the beta I wanted to try him because his gun looked cool
Kind of a shame its forced to shoot all bullets now but eh I found a new funny move
Man this character is so fun. Feels so balanced too he doesn’t have many super safe moves that he can throw out like top tiers
I really just don't think this is true
but maybe I'm just against bad players idk
I'm starting to think he's a solid mid tier.
He might mean he is underwhelming compared to other top tier consistency and he doesn’t just have insane conversions like other characters
Considering they broke Jab loops
mwh
Expect them to break combos in a lot of ways
I mean like
In the next month or two
I'm just saying if a top tier is unavoidable combos
Expect that to get shaken up soon
Though personally I'd prefer some guaranteed combos, just not long ones
I think stripe is quite strong
This was independent of whether he's strong or weak
Yeah he has pretty good neutral tools
Simply put he is strong but not OP
wait huh?
dair + gun kills at 20?
yes
the bullets (usually) knock your target away from you, so you have to be above the target
I've had it knock the opposite way sometimes
@ 5:42 and 7:30
https://youtu.be/56e656dvK-M?si=CvCWDlF4IOTJ2pWF&t=451
Your opponent usually has a chance to dodge it, so it's technically a 50/50 between you choosing to instantly shoot or delay shoot to catch them out of dodge. But most players just jump or up special after getting spiked down like that.
wow
pretty sick
question though
how should i play stripe?
like playstyle wise
also what r his optimal combos if u know
I'll have to test what's actually optimal, but I've been doing jab1 > jab2 > dair > sair/uair depending on how they bounce
Most players I've fought have been pretty aggressive, so I've just been waiting for them to make a mistake and I punish it. Use buzzsaw on platforms if there are any. Always have a dynamite available and don't be afraid to use it, it can kill, extend a combo, or just disrupt both opponents if they're clumped up. Try to save your bullets so you can always go for a surprise kill.
I sometimes like to use bullets to create a ground bounce if I position myself above them which can extend a combo
I'm looking for spots to use gun for combos but I'm scared I'll miss chance to cheese.
I don't care if I miss a chance to cheese
I want to put my opponent in a bad spot whenever possible
I will 1000% use my ammo to just win neutral for free
Jab 12 -> imagination
VoiD played recently and was doing DAir FAir out of it, does some good damage. It's a little difficult to execute, as if you try to do the aerial all at once you'll get the next jab instead.
Jab 12 DTilt (the radio) Gun feels really good, you get a lot of setups there.
You'll see Jab 12 UTilt 12 look like a kill confirm but it's as inconsistent as my thought process, use dynamite and go for swag kills instead
If you hit DAir in general you can get just about anything
Also I don't rly know notation for this game so I'm just gonna use smash and pray you understand
Outside of that, after using dynamite you usually get setups for various aerials, it's pretty nice
Though fair warning I'm largely talking about my own experience here, I don't really know any big resource spaces, so definitely see if you can find something better
utilt is consistent if you react to what direction opp gets sent
Not reallyyyyy
I've done the reverse stuff but there's a point where % gets too high and DI has more impact I think??
It's hard to describe
Eg if they DI in and I reverse it, it definitely still whiffs against some characters. If it's, say, Superman, it's fine, but smaller chars escape fairly easily
do yall ever use the saw cooldown bite?
I feel like its better than I thought it was
its by far his fastest attack its pretty useful for pressure
also u can kinda just throw it into the middle of combos and the combos still work
but it only does 2 damage so it isnt that big of a deal
might be useful for escaping pressure if they get too close
Can u explain a little bit
how I execute this?
after the initial up attack, you can input the follow up attack as up + left or up + right to control what direction it goes in
thanks bro, but the move doesnt connect against small chars if they DI away, right?
btw, what build are u running rn guys?
No I prefer using different moves like dair out of jab because it’s just more consistent, but do what you want imo
STRIPE MAINS GIVE ME POWER for tommorow there is an Euroversus Tourney with price money
With like over 600 Players
Do not use stripe.
An unfortunate loss
Man ok MR Pessimist
I’m just saying multiversus is unbalanced. You will be fighting good players who use good characters
it's really not all too unbalanced
Dosent elaborate
if you are better then you will win

Well good luck I guess
stripe isn’t insane but he definitely has the tools to have a fighting chance against top tiers
wait ayo fill me in fellow eurobro
What do you mean Fill me in?
I was looking for it but reg is closed oops
Yeah its already closed sadly
smh I should have joined on an alt or something
i will compensate u with this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/998301133661544648/1248965478458724382/RPReplay_Final1717846840.mov
oh embeds no work here
tmd
It's one of the few that aren't p easy to simply whiff punish/react to
That's why it's used so often
Both weakened applying perks for the first two slots/third slot pugilist simply because I dislike everything else in that slot and dynamite perk
Dynamite perk enables 27 DMG if all the hitboxes connect for the slight self inflicted DMG tradeoff and considering how often the move helps with neutral and sometimes even advantage as a burst option, its nice
I run dynamite, That’s flammable doc, the one that lets dash attack armor break and pugilist
I'm running 5%, Snowball, Last Stand, Pugilist. If there's armor then I switch Snowball for Armor Crush.
Kinda cracked at stripe…
that's flammable doc is just meh
True
Yeah flammable doc is not really as good as it can be
Its okay on like bugs
Stripe his buzzsaw isnt even a projectile on the ground so it hardly ever procs
I think hitting dynamite counts as a projectile tho?
still just worse than a flat 7% damage boost
you also have to factor in your teammate if you're playing 2s. Snowball generically boosts whoever you pair with, Flammable is more niche and you might get someone who doesn't even have projectiles
buffing or nerfing officially doesnt matter. pfg is not balancing around balance, but discord feedback. so the only way to get a buffed character is to have the community want it buffed
same for nerfs
I haven’t fought a lebron since beta did something happen to him? I thought they just removed the basketball juggle thing did they remove him from the game w/ iron giant?
He is in the game still.
who did they buff/nerf purely based on outrage?
are you referring to like
gizmo?
They are basing their decisions off discord feedback
That's all you need to know this games doomed
They said "Thanks for your continued feedback on Discord, Reddit and the rest of our social channels! We’ve been paying close attention to all of your spirited discussions and are working hard to improve a number of high-priority issues with MultiVersus." But I think its an overreaction to say that that means they're balancing purely off of what opinions are loudest
If that were true then Shaggy would be nerfed into the ground by now
Just give it time
Game has no competitive backbone and pfg no identity to drive it, no vision
I'd rather not waste my energy thinking about the future of the game
as the game is right now, it is the best platform fighter
:| is bro fr
so one thing I realize with stripe is that he is exceptionally good at just waiting
in pretty much every stage of the game
Nah he just bad
From what I've see, all Lebron had was his basketball "traps". They took that out and now and now he seems like Velma.
All lebron has is ball nair into up air which kill early off top but that’s basically it.
Not many opportunities to land it though his neutral is way worse than it was in beta
Well 2 W 1 lose from the tourney as Stripe not bad
But BORING i had 2 Harleys and 1 WW
And many other also say it was not very fun it seems
I guess this game is not really tourney worthy for now
What are some good Stripe techs
Cant say there's much in the realm of complex tech for most of the cast but it's important to know you typically can do a lot with the dynamite perk, being able to jump/dodge out of chainsaw, skateboard can have its 2nd hitbox activated by manual input/you can input the side special again to keep skating (both in the same direction and opposite)
Is there a reason why stripes saw specifically doesn't recharge instantly after he dies
Like seemingly every other cooldown
Might be a bug or it just bad
So for Stripe bugs so far;
- Sawblade's cooldown doesn't refresh on respawn.
- Sawblade loses to every other projectile instead of trading.
- Gun can miss its target.
- Gun can only use 1 ammo, even when you have more.
- Gun can hit once, but use 2 ammo.
- Stripe applies the weaken perks to himself when using Dynamite to bump into the stage.
- Dynamite doesn't count for the "Hit down specials" mission.
Am I missing anything?
The dynamite one could be intended but anyways it all sounds good
I at least hope the saw losing to everything is a bug and not intentional
Idk how it was in the beta I didn't play him then
I'm unsure if gun missing is a bug
I feel like gun also knocks enemies in weird directions sometimes but idk if that's necessarily a bug
Yeah IDK either but I thought it was worth listing
every time it's missed in my experience has been the result of a projectile being in the path
I find it very funny that despite all of these bugs I have lost less to Stripe not functioning than to Jason not functioning
If gun doesn't work, then at worst you're still in neutral (usually).
online tourneys are inherently miserable
you only enter online tournaments if you think you have a reasonable shot at doing well
IDK how Jason's bugs work but I'm guessing if he bugs out, then he goes into disadvantage, and he really doesn't want that.
Sometimes my utilt's second hit doesn't connect and I've had side special decide to just not kill the opponent and to instead send them upward
2 bugs
that make my life
absolutely miserable
a single bugs makes me miserable all by himself
If you're in dubs and steven bubbles you dynamite doesnt make you go anywhere you just blow up and take fire damage
Skateboard is also bugged
fortunately skateboard is a bad move
what's the bug?
Best perks for Stripe?
ime it's probably just well balanced snowball effect speed force pugilist
Ok, so I literally have zero interest in gremlins, but I figured I’d try out Stripe because he’s free on rotation
This character is funny
Just like the ability to blow yourself up is hilarious and makes for a lot of wacky scenarios
And shooting people with gun into the blast zone is also funny
Does Stripe have any good signature perks? I would consider buying him if this game didn’t suck and just throw an error every time I try to buy a character after this most recent update
I think the best signature is the generic 5%... unless you can somehow consistently land the dynamite one
welcome brother
Dynamite one creates explosions on surfaces you come into contact with
Can be really nice for getting a lot more damage off of dynamite if you can hit a surface next to them
Effectively it just makes more hitboxes for the dynamite which I'm all here for because missing that move blowsx
I’ve had a few scenarios where I’ve double hit with dinamite after bouncing on stage, but that sounds like it would make it more consistent
I will say, hitting a combo into suicide with off stage dinamite from a dodge read is very satisfying
But every time I’ve gone for that in the last stock and hit it, I haven’t gotten a rematch lmao
The fire perk is solid too, especially in doubles
Recently crossed 300 wins with stripe, this character is so much fun
I find it kinda cringe that all the best perks are boring number buff
because everything else is so conditional/bad
That's mostly how it was in beta
thinking of keeping stripe in 2s, and using jason in 1s
stripes kit is much more fun to me in 2s
and i feel very rewarded in 1s as jason
I honestly dig stripe more in singles
Gives me more space and time to set up buzz saw juggles
but when ur teammate comes in at the perfect time to pick up the buzzsaw it just hits so good
Anyone use stripe’s down normal (radio) attack?
perks seem like a really cool idea to let players customize characters, but i think the devs are scared to commit to making them TOO impactful
wonder woman has a cool one where her lasso becomes a movement tool, I want that kind of playstyle changing thing for every character
like some random ideas;
- Short Fuse: Dynamite automatically explodes 5 seconds after being pulled and makes a big hitbox around Stripe when it does, but you lose the body hitbox and can't manually trigger the dynamite.
- Slowblade: Sawblade moves much slower and is larger, but can't cling to walls or ceilings. (Falls off of platforms)
garnet also has a good sig
The "move slightly further when using up special off projectiles" is so niche it's funny.
I think stripe was a bug where he doesnt latch on the wall?
I haven't seen that
God please can they fix the gun ASAP
I'm just losing games because the main kill option refuses to work
Hate when I press to use all my bullets but it only uses 2😭
I got 3😭gimme the extra shot
im making a video and my god its gonna have a segment just showing all of the clips i have of the gun failing
New tech found with stripe
Also I won my top dog playing largely only Stripe
picked him up right before this started
i am actually very surprised at how good he felt troughout it all
You could, like, I dunno, share it
A gatekeeper ain’t supposed to open gates 😼
weak
The best part is when the gatekept tech is already known by a lot of people completely nullifying any reason to gatekeep it to begin with
broskis
airwalker is crazy
it lets you convert off of dair in a crazy way
you get to do like
dair airwalk utilt dair continue
maybe allows for loops with platforms?
Does stripes bomb not have a cooldown
One of the best moves in his kit if not the best move
Like having a burst range that large is absurdly strong
Just speaks to their lack of character
You’ll eventually find out
Weak
Game is game
Nah I’m playing
Jab gun, jab
That’s it
Nothing special
Basically like the jab loop, but I ain’t gonna rely on it because it might be patched
That’s not even tech that’s like a combo lmao
I think it depends on if gun is stale
Very stupid, great for recovery and even spiking
I'm not sure it spikes, how do you get this to happen? But recovery usage though is crazy for sure
does this even better with the specific perk for it
not even necessary
True but I like getting 27 damage off of dynamite
I literally cannot tell if dair airwalk utilt is true
it might just be like
giga precise
How does shooting Stripe's saw work?
Like for me its very inconsistent, sometimes it goes forward, sometimes backwards
Personally i wouldnt even waste bullets on it
Its very unpredictable on where it goes sometimes and its not the best use of bullets
I feel like it has potential for alot of tech though
But its too unpredictable to even do combos
I had a friend try to lab out the saw blade interactions and even he was confused
If your using gun in jabs you wasting bullets
No you’re not. It helps extend the combo and can lead into another jab
If you get the flammable perk it will rack up damage fast
Why wouldn't you save it for kills
Cause you get bullets back. This is for early damage
Also you can really only use 1 bullet and it works
So you can still save 2 bullets for later
Look in #combos to see what im talking about
I saw that combo and it's cool but in my experience with how long the CD in bullets are. You remove a kill option from yourself for a good bit
You will be fine. Bullets provide great combo extensions and damage. After the combo you can camp out you bullets again since Stripe can sit back easily
Not been my experience either because saw has a long CD and I don't like letting my teammate die
Unless we are not using the term sit back the same
Im talking about in 1s
Ah yeah I just play Jason in 1s, ok
Yeah i dont like playing 2s much
Fair.
Sawblade generally goes the direction you’re facing when you shoot it
But each shot only affects the momentum so much, so if it’s flying to left and you face right and shoot it once, it might slow down but not fully turn around
I love using bullet on sawblade after it’s passed my opponent to have it come back around and catch them off guard for a free neutral win
I dont wanna be mean or anything but saying that bullet loop extension is not useful in 2's is CRAZY
it lets him extend combos to combo into dair + bullets
I’m excited to try the bullet loop when I get home from work
its very good in combination with instant air dash
it seems to only be a loop of the opponent DI's out but if they DI in its easy to do iad dair into utilt and do some juggles
which you can do either way they DI
You’re welcome :3
Bullet loops have so many implications
Like instead of going for another jab you can go for an up tilt or a down air
Its so fun to explore
I’m trying to see how consistent up tilt into down air is
Like the first 3 hits of up tilt
Some times people can parry it and other times they can’t so I need to figure out what damage ranges/DIs/hitboxes make it work and which ones don’t
I think a lot of the time it's less about frame advantage and more about actually being able to get the hitbox to them
Its weird for me. I think im just not fast enough at times
Depending on di i either use dair, up air or the last part of up tilt
Sair works too
I find it purely depends on opponent reflex time. Most good players I met online can dodge it but on some more inexperienced players or bigger bodies like Jason or iron giant it tends to work
I typically follow with up air or side air depending on di, and the final up tilt hit if they are above me and at kill percent
I do this as well but if I could make dair consistent I’d be able to get even more damage by hitting them into the floor and then bouncing them up into whatever I have next
Very true but if the opponent can dodge it I feel it's more of a frame issue rather than a spacing or hitbox one
It probably is but I think I just really want it not to be
Killing IG as stripe is tough 😮💨
Dude its a chore
Fr lmao, dude was at 290 hp last night before I finally killed him lmao
You gotta use dash attack
That is probably what kills him the earliest
You can combo into it too with bullet
I think IG is the only character who jab 1,2 utilt 1,2 is guaranteed on
And utilt 2 kills pretty early
Dash attack is slow as hell and incredibly punishable if it misses. You're probably better off with up tilt 2 and gun to finish ig
I’ve actually seen it miss before lol
For Stripe, is it best to stick with the Well Rounded perk, or would using Boom, Boom, Bounce! be more effective?
bbb is very strong, breaks armor because it makes down b have 3 different hitboxes
if you hit all 3 its like 26% damage for free lol
that's assuming that you're in a matchup where dynamite is particularly strong
I really don't think dynamite is generally applicable enough for bbb to be worth tbh
outside of certain matchups
especially since the perk does literally nothing after a certain %
I feel like you could definitely go with either of them
I've personally been using BBB but I use dynamite a lot
I can definitely see well rounded being the more reliable option
Basically
Don't use the pounce perk
Good to know!
I feel like I'd rather run it then the boring 5 percent perk
They should remove that
I mean like
dynamite perk isn't that much more interesting tbh
all it does is increase damage on your dynamite
That's more interesting because it's noticeably more.
But yes signature perks should define or alter gameplay
it's slightly more interesting because it encourages you to use a move
but like
it's probably worse lol
Signature perks
Dynamite explodes on bite and on Stripes collision
Two saw blades
Bullets refresh on kill
Or at least refresh what you used
Misery
You can make jt so bullets hit it towards you with dynamite and a platform
I can unironically answer any question regarding sawblade
I should probably ping when i respondnwith that but like whatever
Best time to use saw?
bro how do you deal with superman as this character
I always take Armor Crush since it works with sair
but if the Superman knows how to abuse all his stuff then it's hell
Whenever honestly, MU dependent. You wanna force a jump/dodge? Learn habbits? Throw it on the ground
Winning? And theres a platform to cover high recovery? Throw it there
Maybe just chuck it off stage because its slow and covers range for a while
Saw is an amazing cooldown
Think of it as a button to force an action or risk losing.
saw is kind of bad in a lot of situations tbh
it's really only good for setups using platforms
it's decent with airwalker since it makes the platform stay until you jump or the saw goes all the way around
it's nice for creating a temporary safe zone around platforms in 2s
it's crazy on Dexter's 2 because it often gets a hit and then re-latches onto another platform
it's sort of ok to force out like
a jump
sometimes
yea
it's actually decent there
it is like
as a move
largely just unimportant
it just makes stripe more impossible to hit lul
Stripe's dynamite breaks his own armor from a Wonder Woman ally 
that's very funny
they just straight coded it as an "enemy attack" didn't they....
you break your armor, you waste dynamite and go nowhere, AND you take burning
Alrighty, finally unlocked Stripe. Excited to learn what he does and how
i heard steven's bubble shield also makes you waste dynamite in a similar way
It does
So... first thoughts after three games and a bit in training room. Stripe's.... really well-rounded. His frame-data's not the greatest but he's got large hitboxes, a good recovery, a good juggle game, good chases, and good kill power vertically and horizontally on moves that aren't terrible
He definitely seems like he doesn't have anything he particularly excels in compared to other fighters but he's got everything and that's p neat
Eh, his kill power is kind of lacking
I wouldn't say that. Gun gets a ton of kills
I mean, a lot of his moves are whiff punishable but most of them kill.
Skateboard, utilt, up air, dair, dynobite (I'm calling it that idc)...
Chainsaw, Gun, Buzzsaw
His up tilt combos off of his jab and kills on some stages sub 100 actually, that's absurd
up tilt has some of the best kill power but it's extremely unreliable to link into the final hit, so you usually want to jab or up tilt into up air, potentially into gun
it only connects if you don't DI out, otherwise you need to go for up air which isn't nearly as strong
It's extremely funny to see a Bugs start using Safe way above you, and you just shoot him and he's gone.
idk how long it'll take before players start respecting gun and stop jumping up to use some air stalling special
Maybe I'm just playing vs people that don't know any better but I've been connecting final hit pretty reliably. It could also just be that I've been catching them at the right position almost every time for it to connect right
Was kinda expecting to find some cooler stuff with dynamite but... kinda feels like you use it to either BM or as a desperation recovery move since it's hard to challenge (but it feels like the self-harm is greater than the actual damage)
It's got a really big hitbox on your body, you can detonate it to just fly at them. Sometimes it kills by itself if they're at high damage, but you can also often land an air attack/gun off it.
Ah
I feel like a lot of the nuance in his play comes from knowing when to use lock on to disrupt someone's neutral/advantage state and knowing when to save bullets for the three hit kill
like imagine if smash bros fox's up special was way faster and had a nastier single hitbox on it and you could act out of it
Okay I DIDN'T realize you could act out of it quickly that changes the optics a bit
Might start chasing offstage with it lmao
he excels at waiting
if you just
sit there
and wait
you will win
yeah definitely don't be afraid to use it even though it has the self-burn, it's a good move and it can be deadly offstage.
Jason excels at waiting better, no offense. Same with Garnet, and same with Morty and RIck respectively. Tanks who wait for whiffs to punish hard and setplayers that control the stage if you give them a second to breathe
There's nothing wrong with Stripe being an all-rounder but that's definitely the vibe I'm getting
I'll definitely have to try that out
Instead of mastering hyper-advanced tech on every character while I wait for ranked I'm just practicing fundies and learning all the pros and cons of each character I can unlock (I had most from the beta anyway)
no stripe waits really well because you're fast your hitboxes are large and your projectile exists
Nakat uploaded an hour long Arya vs Stripe ft10 today, it might help if you wanna see good player's stripe
https://youtu.be/SRzY5LtKga0?si=Ql-cUVx7e78_SgzS
you also just put the opponent in a blender
because with optimized routes you're going like
jab gun jab utilt dair dair
Super helpful!
or something silly
Wow, this is the most receptive character channel so far lmao
Most of them are either overhyping their character or severely, criminally downplaying them
I thought he was bad at first but he's actually pretty good once you start putting his pieces together, he doesn't have the typical upward chase combos of other assassins, but he's got his own tools
I'm a part of that problem
I was like
immediately in tune with this character
I knew he was a good character from the jump
dynamite is such an unreasonably good tool
Jason chat was too focused on how criminally large his hurtbox was and not how criminally hard his combos hit
Nor how insane G. Up Special and Sair are as individual moves
yea
his problems come down to inconsistencies
largely
that's why I play stripe rn
Also this video is honestly goated. Seems stupidly obvious now but the thought to just keep dynabite permanently on-hand is so underrated
worst thing about it is how it sometimes visually disappears
I didn't really think about how gun just like
extends every combo
I keep forgetting about my gun
on-demand combo extender or kill confirm
I keep using gun as just an interrupter
But the application here of just extending or killing at any point is goated
killing is funny
Same I beat people on spacing my whiff punishes and that's about it lmao
Getting edgeguarded? Bait an option and chainsaw. Catching a landing? Empty hop into skateboard lmao
you can also dodge out of gun after you land some hits
oh I see
you get to go like
jab gun jab utilt dair dair uair
and kill them at stupid low %
Its so fun
If they are near ledge you can
Jab jab gun jab jab down air gun spike
And they die
I mean tbh
I think the best part
is that like
you get to win neutral for free
then combo off of it
What’s up my fellow stripe players, just found out about the existence of this channel
He either just randomly explodes you or you live past 140
Stripe is epic
Just a bit weird at times
I wanna play them more but xbox is awful
He's my 2nd favorite assassin
He also has some of my favorite animations in the game
And i love the..idea of his kit
It feels a bit rough around the edges at times but overall👍🏾
anyone else notice other projectiles just completely destroy his saw blade????
Really?
I mean its absolutely better than it used to be
Its actually playable now
stop dodging the 1s🤬
No :3
run the 1s rn
Im doing rifts and watching the Nintendo direct
im ngl i cba to do allat 😭
rifts take forever
Stripe feels super good but sometimes so weird
Like he'll get stuck in his animations for 50 years or start sliding in the air forever
why's stripe sawblade so fragile
literally every enemy projectile will destroy it, not even trade
Another fun thing is that stripes up b doesn’t jump over bugs’ rocket or safe
I couldnt do 1's at all yesterday and had to piggyback off a ps4 player for 2's
Just miserable
Even Gizmo's arrow that's so cringe
Its cause they are heavy projectile i think
Just use skateboard for those 2
wish they would actually clarify the "light/heavy projectile" distinctions, i wasn't sure if it was a bug or not when I kept getting hit by Bugs' garbage
Got another one to add
Seems like if you get hit near the end of his down special animation he won't be holding any dynamite
But you will actually have it
So if you use it again to pull dynamite out you'll just bite into nothing and do the attack
I noticed sometimes stripe's model is turned 180 degrees when gets launched from Dynamite, he flies feet first
I hope they buff saw, i spenr way too much time understanding how to control and manipulate buzzsaw for it to awful
I dont wanr a lot
Simply a duration extension when hitting an enemy @pine fjord or is that too busted my goat
Like i'm building a compilation of mecovering myself with saw and controlling it off stage
And its so annoying when it goes away because..??? And the cd is soo longggg
I feel like thats fine
assuming it losing to everything in existence is a bug
if they fix that and the cooldown not reseting on death then i'd like it a lot more
its just miserable losing it to something like rick laser and not even destroying the laser
thoughts on this?
nevermind I can't send images hang on
might switch rick and morty at a glance
I disagree
I might have only played vs bad ones
I also dont know how you got here either
went 3-2 at a big tournament
ended 65/410
unfortunate
I need to use saw better
I'm just trying to beat people with raw spacing which doesn't take advantage of a small but key part of the character
Misery even with good saw control. Saw loses to a lot of stuff
Frostiverses?
ye
I misunderstood the sign up and couldnt play
what in christ's name is that
lost to Girphquake and metsfan4ever
Girphquake won the last week's frosti
and metsfan has so much more time from the beta than me it was actually comical
Saw clashes with every projectile and loses to heavies
Keep your head up, you got next
yea
but it's still like
crazy that you have a projectile at all tbh
considering everything else stripe has
Not really
It fits imo, a pressure tool to help you juggle and what not more. Its my fav part of his kit
it covers for very small weaknesses that spacing alone can't cover and gives stripe a way to force specific options
Found a use for stripe bite (nair without saw). You csn reverse shoot saw the exact same way you can with dynamite with bite
bites hitbox is so pathetic that it may be hard to set up however unlike dynamite you keep positioning and percent
Lowkey ima start labbing for bite confirms..
I doubt it goes into literally anything
No, but it can be a reset tool
Jab, bite, dodge read-> more dmg
Disagree with this.
We lose to Batman
We slightly lose to shaggy
We are even with Steven (maybe slight loss)
IG might be Even
Did Meta go Velma or Stripe?
Fun fact: Reindog Fireball isnt a projectile so skateboard and up special doesnt break it
Specifically just meteor
His little fireballs are projectiles, just not meteor
but why
buff stripe please yoo
I'd like less startup on skate
I feel kinda dumb to admit it, but I just discovered you can cancel the skate run into the flip earlier by using up-special
I was still used to the beta version of the move
skate is absolutely terrible anyway
Counter-argument:
It's funny
Literally only use it if a Black Adam use his neutral B or Bugs puts a heart
oh, and it appears you can also flip behind you
well, was it a useful move I would have discovered it earlier XD
fr?
Sarcasm? Either way... yes, it works XD
Naw im dead serious I didnt even know
No its not
Its a good option if your opponent is at ledge
Great to throw out in neutral at times (just kickflip early to avoid being punished)
Breaks most projectiles in the game
I didn't know that!
I see the skateboard vision now tbh
Anyone's got the Stripe discord?
I'd gladly wait ages for stripe buffs if it meant they fixed him first
Only stripe buff i want is something to make jab feel less clunky
Up tilt more consistent, final hit
Buff saw
Man wow i dislike a lot of his kit.
And make skateboard jump cancelable
I dont think there is one
Only buff i want is a bit more range on his Sair hitbox
Poor Stripe
I think he's kind of in a perfect spot
The top characters are just way too strong
I'd honestly like some dodge frames on the boombox down attack.
I mostly use it to drop it a bit from ledges but I'd like to use it as a counterattack too, which never works.
Exactly
His sair hitbox at times feels way to honest imo. I will miss it by pixels even tho my hand is touching them
Agreed
Not everything needs to be top tier
Just strong
He has one of the most well rounded kit in the game in my opinion
No move feels too spammable, and all moves feel usable in one way or another
Dynamite is the only thing broken about him
Since there is no cooldown
Yeah but I think it's fine since it deals self inflicted damage
It's strong but it's meant to be a big part of his kit so it's fine in my opinion
I dont think its fine imo
If they put it on cooldown and gave us 2 saw back that would be fair if im being honest
I guess, I don't have any strong feelings about this but that sounds fair
Everyone i fought against or heard talk about Stripe always talk about dynamite being way too good
I think all his specials are like fine, dynamite having no cooldown is strong. A little annoying to go against
But if it were easier to contest/punish on whiff i'd feel loke more people would be fine with it
Yea its basically unpunishable on whiff if you don’t mess up the angle
Especially with the boom bounce perk
I think its funny how the common census from stripe players is that the character is fine. Just the highee characters are too overtuned. I feel like we are a little too
Whats the word, humble? Honest?
honest
We know are character is broken/good
We dont downplay them
His MUs tho are a bit rough
I'm not used to characters with horrid MU's so it rubs me wrong
Idk why armor is designed the way it is, and why armor break isnt something every character has in at least one part of their kit
This is such a glaring flaw with the game in my opinion
Yeah i have to run the dash attack perk
They designed a sort of combat rock-paper-scissors but some characters don't have scissors
Imagine life if either saw got armor break. Or like, badword i'll take down tilt with armor break please
Down tilt's the only attack I don't use a lot so I'd take it
Chainsaw and buzzsaw are the only parts of his kit that visually look like it'd break armor. Because big multi hit thingie idk

My exact reaction
Well sorry is the word pierce armor?
Every move breaks it i want to pierce it, and hit the person. Like if arya pops down special and hits a ww it doesnt just break the armor they recieve hitstun and dmg
They call it Armor break but it's Armor piercing
Man im not even on the game and now i'm annoyed at WW
Im fine with the WW MU
I don't fight enough WW, it just sounds like he11 on paper
What's the worst stripe matchups in you guys' opinion?
Batman
Then again i've been playing the game less recently so idk
Black adam, gizmo, bats,
Safe characters that are hard to catch
Wanna spar? I wanna see your stripe and copy some things
AND MAYBE I CAN SHOW YOU COOL BUZZSAW THINGS
I hate Batman on every character
It's not even that I think he's op, but he's just so generally strong in 1v1
I should ask Batman players if they have a losing MU
I'd assume characters that deal with batrang well
He has the best neutral in the game
In 1s they have very few loosing matchups I feel like
Maybe Rick because he can just destroy projectiles on demand
Sure
Im on rn if you wanna hop on
Or Wonder Woman because she has good options against Batman's tools
I don't know what they did to slides for release but both Bat's and Harley's are insane
Literally just ducks under some jabsb
Thats why i asked lol, send me a request "GrogMcFrog" while i turn on my xbox and pray to Tony's servers
It makes you wanna be in the air but Batman loves you being in the air
kk
For real it's a great bait
WW is another character i doubt has any real losing Mu's. Altho that character isnt seen a lot in 1's tournys which i find strange
While i dislike WW, i beat a lot of the WW's i face
After playing other characters too, stripe has alot that i took for granted
People call her broken and she has an answer for everything but you still need good fundies
She's probably just better in 2s, so people who play her would rather play in duo tourneys
I wish there was more duo tournaments
I truly believe she is the strongest character in the game right now, but she does require at least some level of playing
Yeah id play some duos tourneys
For a 2v2 game, 2v2 is both balanced poorly and ignored
Compared to something like Shaggy or Banana guard
@pine fjord wanna hop in a vc as i yap
lol im superman IGNORE IT I WAS BRAINROTTING EARLIER
kk
dynamite is NOT that good
buts its a pretty solid move
Dynamite is a solid way to close out stocks, to chase, cover recovery options. Cover dodges
And if you're cocky like SOMEONEEE i know @pine fjord YOU CAN JUST SPAM IT AND TRADE FOR THE WIN
that kill was so cheesy dudz and you know it!
I love turning off my brain
And spamming dynamite
😭
Dynamite is really funny tho
When it’s stale and your opponent has good DI, you’re not killing with that move until like 150%
But like the hitbox is so massive that it’s actually really good for being able to recover back to stage and your opponent kinda has to respect it
Like the move is really really big
You're not a real stripe main if you don't int at least one stock cause you thought it'd be funny to dynamite over and over
If your not being avoided or punished for this move your in 1v1 in an extremely advantage state or your opponent has the awareness of a single cell organism
The fact you can’t spike with dynamite is annoying
Nah its actually a good option
You dont see the vision
I mean I could say there was a vision for it and that it doesn't live up in a 2v2 situation
Bad
yeah same. they're already probably gonna nerf the top tiers, so stripe will get better even if he's unchanged
Going from playing Joker to Stripe has been a right decision on my part
yea from the worst character in the game to the best character in the game
Stripe only have 1 saw right?
Yeah unfortunately
If you juggle it enough it’ll stick around long enough for you to recharge another one as it runs out but unless you’re playing against someone who has no idea how to play against saw it isn’t worth the effort
Hear me out, stripe but he throws dynamite instead of saws
loll
have yall seen his leaked skins?
if yall send a dm ill show them, i forgot i cant post photos here
went 1-2 by games (2-2 on record bc dq win) at a 32 man tourney
I am
not very happy
lol
lost to a steven and an iron giant
id never lose to an iron giant
whenever i play stripe against IG i do a lot of dairs and up specials
Just throw it out on a whiff punish, of out of jab. The move is very big and the timing is very forgiving with being able to delay kick flip . I didnt think it was good either until i fought dudz
It also covers ledge extremely well
Its kinda just a random move that kills. Idk how to explain it other than that, like a mix up option you do after conditioning
in my opinion, his saw blade is so good for people who like to edge guard, especially if they’re at a higher percentage it knocks them back farther, and if not saw blade, up special works great to, kinda wish they would’ve kept his other signature perk
Bro iron giant is booty compared to release 💀 no way you lose to that
of course I'm losing to a character I never see
I don't know how my character interacts with it
and I'm trying to do what I normally do
which doesn't seem to work against the cahracter
Learn how to play around his (now) terrible moveset 😭
Ledge is an extremely advantaged state like I said.
Though that's only works well in 1s
It's simply too slow
that's what I'm doing
like
y'all will say this
then complain about ww
I basically never lose to ww
Convo js started and im already calling bs 😭 🤦♂️
ww is actually too powerful compared to a character light IG
like***
I guess🤷♂️
Im going based off personal experiences and what the community says
IG gets nerfed very often
ww got changed once
like yea
in the second game
I got significantly closer to winning
I went from getting absolutely dunked on
to like
basically losing by 1 mistake
Dude he went from like SSS tier to A tier, but he’s still really solid even with the nerfs
Like yeah he’s not a completely brain dead insta win character anymore
But he’s still got some insane tools like the fact that he can nair ladder combo using platforms
it's a gross combo, i stumbled into playing it with a friend and it felt unfair
not 2s
It's more trying to prevent infinites due to his size rather than nerfs outside of that
doing side1 side2 to dair is beautiful
Hey guys, I’m just a casual stripe player🤗
Same here, big reason I keep losing is that I find stripe has trouble killing iron giant. Lost to one recently by one stock and he was at 170 percent lol
Half the ww players spam armor and jab so you can punish once you see the pattern at least
What if stripe got a new perk that makes him have his 3 saws again
He only had 2 saws iirc
I mean the projectiles.
Stripe in beta got 3 saws projectile.
If you got 3 saws in an ally you could form a shield
@pine fjord voids discovering stripe tech
I been knew that tech lil bro
VoiD is late to the party
I found that out day 1 of playing Stripe
I love how everyone’s default mild insult response is “lil bro”
mo is the definition of lil bro
Like i clicked on the video ready to learn some new tech and i was like man wtf
nah cuz fr tho, i was sitting there telling the screen what he should’ve done😭😭😭
When he picked up Stripe for the first time in literally told him in chat why that interaction happens but he didnt see it
lol, sometimes you gotta keep the ways of stripe to yourself 🍽️
people just don’t understand
no im not
just cuz i get dogged on you by stripe im not ur lil bro
Haven't seen an infinite from IG since he was added back
It’s not an infinite, but he has a ToD off of nair
Nair into itself with platform extension combos into uair off the top
And nair into itself can also combo into up b off the top too, but that one seems a bit more finicky
I’m curious. The only one I know of is Brain
Just as in voice clips
ill show you in dms, cant post in this channel
Wow bro🫢
morty is miserable to fight
stripe>>>>>>>>morturd
i know the stripe tech vid that void dropped is cool and all but is anyone actually struggling to do the tech?
has anyone tried hyper hopping with stripe yet?
Huh
